HOK win at Berlin DesignSlam!

 

I had to share this with you; I was going to hold off until I got more feed back, but I couldn’t wait!

A colleague of mine, William Lopez Campo from the HOK London office yesterday participated in the closing event of Autodesk’s BIM Conference  held in Berlin: a two-round 20 minute(each) LIVE “DesignSlam”. He was up against some really tough competition but his unique and highly skilled approach to using Revit saw him through and he took the top prize of 1000 Euros plus a Lego Architectural model of Frank Lloyd Wrights Fallingwater.

The live competition involved two 20 minute tasks in front of a live audience of 300. The first task was a facade extension to an existing building and the second involved a Bridge exercise. William’s amazing mathematic abilities allowed him to create this bridge using parametric families. To quote William……

“The most exciting moment of my design was when time was up, and I transferred all the Parameter information to a nested set of the simple elements. In the click of a button I asked Revit to recalculate over 4500 values, model 1600 solids, regenerate around 20 views, most shaded and shadow-enabled and including perspectives. It took around 3 tense minutes for a quite cryptic image on screen to become the bridge I had in mind.”

 

William has promised me more sketch book examples of how he went about creating this bridge, which I will share with you in a future blog. In the meantime I would like to extend my congratulation to William! Don’t spend all the money at once! :-)

Windows 7 64bit working with Revit 2009 and Revit 2010

I have been fortunate enough to have my laptop wiped down and Windows XP64 removed and replaced with Windows 7 64bit! This is for me to test Windows 7 and see its suitability for Revit. I am running a Dell Latitude E6400 with 8gigs of RAM, Quadro NVS 160M graphics card as my primary machine. Its never going to be as fast as workstation, but for day to day use and travel its ideal.

Originally the laptop had Windows XP64 installed. This OS was never geared up for mobile use and to be honest I have had all sorts of  stability issues with Revit 2010 on this laptop. This was mainly due to poor graphics card drivers for XP64.

So far I am please to report my Windows 7 experience with Revit 2009 and Revit 2010 (ribbon mode) is extremely positive. Its like having a new machine! Revit 2010 (ribbon mode) has been stable as a rock, with no crashes.

Windows 7 is really what Vista should have been, but failed to deliver. I’m guessing many firms who did not make the jump to Vista will be looking at Windows 7 and wondering whether its right for them and will live up to the hype. Microsoft seemed to have learnt from their mistakes and in my humble view it does deliver, its certainly providing me with the stability I require to run my favourite app. There are some really nifty features, old hat to the Mac user but great to see on the Windows platform.

It should also be noted that Autodesk have  not officially  announced support for Windows 7, although I would expect to see it after Windows 7 is released.

New Concepts in Bars & Restaurants

New Concepts in Bars Restaurants
Links International English July 10, 2007 ISBN: N/A 252 pages (full)

The architecture of leisure tends to be one of the best exponents of the creative capacity of the designer. The functional and aesthetic limitations are almost always less strict than in other areas, and this is why the most famous spaces of restaurants, bars, cafes and discotheques have become fundamental examples for studying the different tendencies of language, materials and design that arise from the interior design of this century. This work presents twenty interior spaces designed by renowned architects and designers, in which diversity and ingenuity are the most outstanding features for spaces that are an invitation to fun, imagination and relax.

Baumschlager - Eberle 2002-2007: Architecture, People and Resources

Winfried Nerdinger, E. Hueber, Judith Wolfframm, D. Steiner, G. Ullmann, K. Daniels, M. Corrodi, O. Herwig, C. Fuchs, V. M. Lampugnani, A. Lepik, O. Schoch, A. Simon, G. Walden, "Baumschlager - Eberle 2002-2007: Architektur, Menschen und Ressourcen / Architecture, People and Resources"
Springer | 2007 | ISBN: 3211714685 | 232 pages | PDF | 50,1 MB

Core of the self from Baumschlager-Eberle is to consider architecture as a holistic task, whose complexity is fulfilled only when a building with all the requirements as equivalent to constructive intelligence, ecology, economy and social acceptance. The book takes this approach and the content is divided into three parts:

In the "architecture" will be 18 new, unrealized projects, presented the agency, classical, through images, texts and plans. "People" highlights the use of certain aspects of selected buildings and explores the question according to their social acceptance. "Resources" checks all objects presented in this framework for their sustainability.

The book fits into the series of so far been a Baumschlager & Eberle, published by Springer monographs and attaches directly to the most recently published publication.

* * * Binding:* Paperback

Product Description:

Multi-core chips from Intel and AMD offer a dramatic boost in speed and responsiveness, and plenty of opportunities for multiprocessing on ordinary desktop computers. But they also present a challenge: More than ever, multithreading is a requirement for good performance. This guide explains how to maximize the benefits of these processors through a portable C++ library that works on Windows, Linux, Macintosh, and Unix systems. With it, you'll learn how to use Intel Threading Building Blocks (TBB) effectively for parallel programming -- without having to be a threading expert. Written by James Reinders, Chief Evangelist of Intel Software Products, and based on the experience of Intel's developers and customers, this book explains the key tasks in multithreading and how to accomplish them with TBB in a portable and robust manner. With plenty of examples and full reference material, the book lays out common patterns of uses, reveals the gotchas in TBB, and gives important guidelines for choosing among alternatives in order to get the best performance. You'll learn how Intel Threading Building Blocks: Enables you to specify tasks instead of threads for better portability, easier programming, more understandable source code, and better performance and scalability in general Focuses on the goal of parallelizing computationally intensive work to deliver high-level solutions Is compatible with other threading packages, and doesn't force you to pick one package for your entire program Emphasizes scalable, data-parallel programming, which allows program performance to increase as you add processors Relies on generic programming, which enables you to write the best possible algorithms with thefewest constraints Any C++ programmer who wants to write an application to run on a multi-core system will benefit from this book. TBB is also very approachable for a C programmer or a C++ programmer without much experience with templates. Best of all, you don't need experience with parallel programming or multi-core processors to use this book.
